How much power is required to do this. There is a external capacitor that can store the 120 volts for a short period of time and provide a small shock.

The K-Tor charger is great 4 charging small devices, however the internal composit and electric system would not allow for a sufficient electrical discharge as to stun fish. Sorry, try line fishing or small (m80 type) fireworks instead. Good luck, prepper 9.

I looked at the Energizer web site. There is no mention of EMP and this product. I have emailed their technical department and will post again when I get a response.In the mean time, review this article: about 3/4 the way down it states that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security implies that regular flashlights and batteries will survive an EMP.http://www.wnd.com/2005/05/30347/

"In Hand" unless you create a device to hold it. You have to create a device for regular length fishing poles as well.

Call and ask-good people. I don't see why not the base metal is heavily treated. I am going on a cruise next week and be wearing it in the salt water pool. It shouldn't make a difference-the water is outside the unit. It's not like a boat engine.

I was able to do it on mine and use it to fill a hillbilly hot tub at my cabin where it needs to run for a couple hours, which it does with no problem. It is possible to rewire the solenoid but I would be very careful if you attempt this and verify that the other safety features still work.

I use this batter for the same purpose in my fishing kayak. I don't think the voltage and amperage are high enough to electrocute a human but I'm not an electrician and make no guarantees about my statement. In my kayak, the batter is in one of the storage area in a waterproof bag slightly larger compared to the battery and when I hook up the fish finder, I run the wires through the opening and then seal it back as tightly as possible and back that up with a velcro tie tightly around the entry area of the wires of the bag. May not keep all water out if completely submerged but should make it more difficult for water to seep in. So far, I haven't turned the kayak over so it hasn't been an issue.

HIThis is my own experience, I do not guarantee it for you. Please use it under your own risk.I got this for my MOM overseas to use with A Fruit Dehydrator and Cuisinart Bread Maker, It works great for us. Also It is used for small things like phones and small massage stuff. Also I remember it was about 10 pounds or so, so you may consider that too if you are sending overseas. Fuses are cheap but we did not have to change it yet. Also the protection fuse has no writings on it which makes it difficult to define which one you need to use if you have to replace it. The replacement fuse was missing from the package or it was hiding somewhere but I did not find it. HIThis is my own experience, I do not guarantee it for you.

Don't know for sure. Would have to be for correct amp draw. I think it very risky and strong potential for fire/ shock.

The battery terminals and clips do quite well. It had standard hex nuts, but we changed the nuts to wing nuts just for ease of use. We have a 14' jon boat and have had NO PROBLEMS with loss of power. It was a great purchase for us. Bear in mind, most of the area lakes that we go don't have strong current. Also, we typically are in "No Wake" areas when fishing.

If you mean hand cranking device , yes they are on ebay, do a search of this model on ebay and you will find the correct one.I have one on my Recruit & it works perfectly! They are around $85.00.

It may work. It will be turning off and on I would guess. That and would be a lot of work on the hand pump operator. But anything to keep the wife happy! I have purchased this model and the camp chef model. My camp chef model got hotter. They are both wonderful units and will make your outing so much better. We have one at our hunting cabin and the wife adores it. Very important to drain the unit if freezing conditions exits. That is how I broke my camp chef unit. Best thing would be to have a small poly holding tank and a 12volt battery operated pump if using a hand pumped well.

You can set the drag with the nut on the side (where the manual crank handle goes). I would imagine this would be very frustrating to do with a live load hanging from one end. One slight move and the battery is crashing down full speed. Never had a heavy load hanging from it to test this theory though - it's just a guess based on pulling the cable out by hand.

which crank actually fit and worked with your Buck commander? Do you have any regretts with the bow or crank? Russ Fisher russell.fisher@navy.mil

Hello Tarek, with anything that's electronic, just as your cell phone, it's to be very careful around water, yet with the Gear, you can wash your hands. Yet do not get Gear wet, remember it's just like your cell phone, just cooler! Enjoy it if you already have it, if not yet, when you do!

There is different opinions about whether non hardwire electronics would suffer during an emp, both by people that presume to know. This radio, as well as any small electronics is at risk, but could be put in a metal ammo can that had been lined with cardboard or foam (top ,bottom and sides) creating a Faraday cage. The emp charge goes around the box, but the contents are insulated and protected. The Scorpion is a excellent emergency radio - light with 3 sources of powering it. Solar, crank, and with a plug in charger that is sold separate. The crank is not made for kids to play with. It doesn't have to be cranked fast to charge up. It has a clutch like mechanism in it that pops out if cranked to fast. Normal to slow cranking resets it. When it pops out, it makes a person think someting broke, but its not. It needs cranked in a way that doesn't put unecessary twist on the crank handle itself or it can break. I have had mine several years and purchased a couple for a homeless person. I would not hesitate to get another one. The enclosed battery packs are replaceable but I have not had to as of yet. Even with prolonged periods of going dead in the dark from being unused.

It can be used for lure fishing, depending upon how fast you need to retrieve the lure. The gear ratio should be higher for fast retrieve baits such as crank baits and buzz baits. It's a personal preference.

I doubt it. ... you can replace the shock cord as it is only tied in a knot.
